Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 From the book The Ten Great Cosmic Powers: " ...She crowned the Idea a king in purple robes, Put her magic serpent sceptre in Thought's grip, Made forms his inward vision's rhythmic shapes And her acts the living body of his will. A flaming thunder, a creator flash, his victor Light rode on her deathless Force: A centaur's mighty gallop bore the god Life throned with mind, a double majesty. " I was looking this over this morning and I had a couple of thoughts about it. First I find it interesting that Life throned with Mind is exalted here as supreme when I would think that Mind might get in the way. Could it be that Thought only becomes helpful when it is crowned by or directed by the Goddess? The other thought I had was wondering about the centaur. I don't recall the centaur as being a part of Hindu imagery. Am I wrong about that? namaste, pr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
